Greetings all;



LinuxCNC has gotten much better over the years, but their installer is still
based on debian buster, but debian came calling to see if it might make it
into bookworm. It may not make the bookworm cutoff date, remains to be seen.

So as a LinuxCNC supporter, I'm stuck with debian. And debian has made it
virtually impossible to install anything from the TDE repos.



Have you had a chat with the person who is actually packaging LinuxCNC for
Debian to see if it will make it in before freeze in January?
Not in the last 20 or so hours. Some sort of a 20+ yo copyright rumor has been reported, and we might not have time to resolve it, some of the history of it, going all the way back to NIST's proposal in the late 60's is pretty vague. Niche stuff even the wayback machine does not have. My contribution to Linuxcnc has about the same effect at steering that ship as a toothpick thrown overboard. So as a Legal I'm nothing but I am a CET, something most EE's don't have a chance of ever passing. US Copyright law, forced on the US and most of the planet by Disney to protect Mickey Mouse etc, is the biggest legal PITA this planet has. 



No man pages...



man mutt Just Works for me here ...


So at this point I guessing that I need a fetchmail/procmail front end as I



don't find any references to account setups for either one. Is my macular
degeneration of my 88 yo eyes hiding that from me?



I'm using mbsync - there are lots of ways to do this but, to be fair, a
Debian colleague helped set up email so that it worked ...


Thank you Andy. take care and stay well.



You too - it's snowing here :)

Andy
